Israeli soldiers
A video leaked shows dozens of rank and file soldiers from the Golani Brigade vandalizing property and letting out angry shouts. According to reports, the riots happened on September 4, 2023.
Reports say dozens were punished, including sergeants, and several soldiers were put in military jail after the riots.
The regime's Golani Brigade is mostly made up of elite soldiers who carry out armed attacks against and have participated in almost all the wars waged by the regime.
Unrest inside the Israeli military has been on the rise recently, particularly over the cabinet's so-called judicial overhaul package, which aims to boost the cabinet's power at the expense of the regime's top court.
Notably, over 10,000 reservist soldiers, including members of the elite intelligence unit 8200 and air force pilots, have declared their refusal to show up for duty on a voluntary basis in protest to the overhaul plan.
Also, cases of suicide within the Israeli occupation forces have grabbed headlines recently, with observers blaming a mental health epidemic among soldiers.

Not healthy for the every day soldier evidence suggests.
Elite soldiers LOL More like cannon fodder comprised of mostly Sephardic Jews. Has always been the least disciplined brigade.
AMERICAN ZIONISMAND THE EXTERNAL THREAT,1933-1936AMERICAN ZIONISM ON THE EVE OF THE THIRD REICH [Link]
The Zionist quest began in 1896, when Theodor Herzl published his classic political manifesto, The Jewish State. Herzl, born in Budapest in 1860, grew up in an assimilated Jewish home and received his educa- tion in Vienna, where he became a prominent journalist and aspiring playwright. A devout believer in the liberal credo, the young Herzl op- timistically expected that the advance of progress in Europe would com- pletely emancipate Jewry from discrimination and persecution.Herzl's optimism did not survive several personal encounters with anti-Semitism, including the Dreyfus affair, which he covered as a cor- respondent for the Viennese Neue Freie Presse. By 1896, as The Jewish State demonstrates, Herzl had undergone a conversion experience. He no longer believed that Christians could be "educated" to tolerate Jews, no matter how assimilated they became. Rather, he maintained that Chris- tians would always perceive of Jews as strangers and that anti-Semitism would increase as the concentration of Jews in a given territory grew. That being the case, it made no sense for Jews to respond to anti-Semitism by emigrating to a more "tolerant" land, since Jew hatred in their new homes would surely increase as a result of their arrival.Having determined that anti-Semitism could not be escaped through either assimilation or emigration, Herzl proposed a radical solution: Jewish statehood. In their own country, he wrote, Jews would escape their minority status and would be free to develop and progress like the great nations of Europe. He thought that most of the world's Jews would eventually settle in the Jewish state, and predicted that anti-Semitism would decline as the number of Jews in the Diaspora decreased.
